Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 – The Child with No Story

By IMERPUS RELUR 

--

As the door began to open, a shadow stepped out from its light.

A small figure.

No face.

No name.

Just a presence that felt hollow—but not evil.

Just… forgotten.

> "Who are you?" Kai asked.

The child looked up.

> "I don't know. I was never written."

> [ENTITY: UNINKED CHILD]

Role: Null Character

State: Unmanifested Narrative Core

The child touched Kai's chest.

> "I came from your unwritten grief."

Kai knelt.

> "You're not a mistake."

The child trembled.

> "Then… will you draw me a name?"

Kai held the pen to the sky.

> "I won't name you. I'll let you remember it."

The child's body shimmered.

A symbol formed on their forehead: ∞

And they vanished—not to be forgotten, but to become.
